Add Decorative Borders to Labels

[NancyNancy]

I am making labels for book dedications where the labels will go on the
inside of the front hardcover. The specific label I am using is Avery 5164
(3.33" ht x 4" width), if that helps. I want to add a decorative border to
each label...and by decorative I mean something besides a ridiculous
straight, dotted, or dashed line. Is the only way to do this by
downloading/getting the border I need, inserting into each label as a
graphic, and then creating a text box to insert the dedication text? I can
also use the text box border, but again those are just the plain straight,
dotted, or dahed line. I need something with maybe a triangle/diamond at
each corner, double lines, etc. Thanks for any help...

What version of Word?

Ahhh...those little details I forgot to include. ;-) Word 2003
(non-profit) on an old Windows 2000 machine.

Thanks...

Thanks for the link, but that doesn't answer my question. If you read my
question you would have seen that I already know how to "add a graphic to a
label." One of my questions was is that the only way to do it? Word does
not have a decorative border feature other than inserting a graphic to each
label? Is this even the correct forum or should my question be in the
general section? (I can't believe I am the only person who ever needed a
decorative border added to a label! After all these years, MS had to improve
this function somehow!)

Word (unlike Publisher) allows "border art" only for page borders, so yes,
the only way to add a border to labels is the way Graham describes.
